This Collectables CD reissues bandleader and alto saxophonist René Bloch's 1962 album Mr. Latin, originally released on Atco.

Listeners who appreciate Pérez Prado and Xavier Cugat will find this a welcome addition to their collections. ~ Al Campbell

Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars: Johnny Crespo (vocals, percussion); Jose Ramon Flores (trumpet); Rene Camacho (bass instrument); Poncho Sanchez (congas); Danilo Lozano, Francisco Aguabella, Francisco Torres, Justo Almario, Alex Acuña, Sal Cracchiolo, Freddie Crespo, Donald Vega, Jimmy Branly, Jose "Joey" de Leon, Eric Jorgensen.
After two records, both of which were produced by the same live concert, Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars set out with a new label, a new musical director, and a new idea for their third album. Some may even consider this a sophomore release because of the nature of the first and second. Packed with individual character and a new aesthetic, The Last Bullfighter marks a new direction from this genuinely all-star group. Having been recorded in the studio instead of in a club, with a live and enthusiastic audience, makes a big difference. The fidelity is far superior to the previous two discs, and because of the controlled context, the arrangements are much more complex ...
| | Is It...Man Or Astroman? CD (1993)
Mr. Latin CD music
$10.65
Escapist treats abound from this mysterious, tongue-in-cheek collective from the Southern United States. Man or Astro-man? have an ear for yesterday's sounds of tomorrow, as they decorate their mostly instrumental tracks with obscure sound bytes from out-of-date sci-fi movies and forgotten TV shows. Silly, dangerous, occasionally sloppy, but never boring, their album Is It Man...or Astro-Man? is the answer for everyone running low on laser gun/go-go/surf/spy/cowboy/drag racing/'60s/bullfighter/Mars-invasion/motorbike music. Songs like "Taxidermist Surf," "Invasion of the Dragonmen," and "Journey to the Stars" (originally by the Ventures) gallop along with the energy of a dozen wild stallions headed for Neptune. "Nitrous Burn Out" is a fantastic bit of racetrack romp, liberally mixed with roaring pistons and accident bulletins along the way. With anything so aggressively "up" in nature, there are a couple moments that inevitably droop a bit in ...
| | Hi-Lo's Happen To Bossa Nova/The Hi-Lo's Happen To Folk Song CD (2002)
Mr. Latin music CDs
$11.95 
The Hi-Lo's on Reprise reissues two of the Hi-Lo's albums on Reprise from 1963: The Hi-Lo's Happen to Bossa Nova and The Hi-Lo's Happen to Folk Songs. Both are uncharacteristic efforts that show the group's willingness to push the pop-vocal group format in new directions. ...
| | Spike Jones Omnibust/60 Years Of "Music America Hates Best" CD (2002)
Mr. Latin songs
$17.75 
Omnibust/60 Years of Music America Hates Best pairs two of Spike Jones' Liberty albums from 1960 on one disc. Omnibust is a largely spoken word parody of television programming that takes a swipe at Lawrence Welk, children's programming, commercials, soap operas, and the then-popularity of detective show theme music. "I Search for Golden Adventure (In My Seven Leaky Boots)" manages to parody adventure shows and Martin Denny's "The Quiet Village" at the same time, while "The Wonderful World of Hari Kari" revisits the Asian stereotypes that Jones employed a decade earlier with his hit "Chinese Mule Train." Although recorded after the breakup of Jones' City Slickers, his old cohort Doodles Weaver returns to reprise his performance of the "William Tell Overture" in "A Mudder's Day Sport Spectacular." 60 Years of Music America Hates Best is a ...

| | Carlos "Patato" Valdez Patato & Totico CD (1967) Remastered; Digipak
Mr. Latin CD music
$9.89
The landmark recording Patato & Totico belongs neither entirely to rhumberos nor to jazzers. The musical style will feel very familiar to those familiar with Cuba's rhumba tradition, which springs from the ritual songs of Yorubans and their descendants who found themselves sold into servitude to Cuba's sugar and tobacco plantations. The ensemble consists of tumbadora, tres golpes, quinto, shekere, clave, ...

| | Johnny Desmond Complete Early Sides CD (2002)
Mr. Latin CD music
$13.89
Compiled on The Complete Early Sides are 18 tracks featuring vocalist Johnny Desmond, many of which are available on CD for the first time. Desmond's refined vocal style -- which earned him the nickname "The Creamer" -- was a highlight of several noteworthy big bands. His first high-profile gig was with Bob Crosby's Bob-o-Links circa 1940. In 1941 he joined Gene Krupa's orchestra, where he replaced Howard Dulaney. Then in 1944 Desmond became known as the "G.I. Sinatra" in Glenn Miller's renowned Army Air Force Band. This compilation focuses primarily on his contributions to Krupa's aggregate, with the exception of a pair of tunes -- "Bella Bella Marie" and "Lillette" -- which were cut with the Dell Trio. As a compilation of this type might suggest, Desmond's unaffected style and seemingly effortless delivery is at the center of these vocal pop standards -- many of which were also being concurrently recorded and performed by a majority of the big bands during the era. There are several historically distinguishing inclusions on The Complete Early Sides, such as the propaganda-laden "The Caissons Go Rolling Along (Artillery Song)," "Marines' Hymn," and "Keep 'Em Flying," which was also one of Krupa's signature pieces. "Marines' Hymn" is also included on ...
| | Sonic Liberation Front Ashe A Go-Go CD (2004)
Mr. Latin music CDs
$13.39
Sonic Liberation Front's sophomore effort is another wondrous exercise in layered, Afro-Cuban and Yoruba aboriginal rhythms, new-era free jazz lyricism, subtle electronica, and inspired arrangements. Bassist Andy Gonzalez joins the band on Ashé a Go-Go enlarging the ensemble to an octet with a trio of vocalists guesting. There are seven tracks of the band's now-trademark gumbo, all but two of which ...
